Current Opinion in Structural Biology
Domains are the functional building blocks of proteins. In this work we discuss how domains can contribute to the evolution of new functions. ...
Domains themselves can evolve through various mechanisms, altering their intrinsic function. Domains can also facilitate functional innovations by combining with other domains to make novel proteins. ...
Domain insertions can act to drive the evolution of new functions such as in the large structurally and functionally diverse HADSF enzyme superfamily (Huang et al. 2015) , here different levels of promiscuity ...
